"Here’s a quick update on the case. Settlement negotiations have stalled, even though the defendants (County of Nassau, Police Officer Faltings, et al) have offered six figures to settle. Yes, that’s right. Nassau County is essentially admitting it was at fault for the botched gun store raid, and now the taxpayers of Nassau County will be forced to foot the bill.

Nassau County has filed a Multiparty Rule 68 Offer of Judgment, offering $200,000 to settle the matter, under the condition that the county and the police department will not have to admit liability. Martin Tretola and T&T Gunnery have so far declined to accept.

Not only were all of these men arrested and publicly humiliated but their businesses have been brought to the edge of ruin. If this case ever goes to a jury Nassau County is looking at paying seven figures, minimum. On top of which the raid was apparently motivated by a desire on the part of a certain Nassau County MOS in the pistol licensing bureau to punish a gun store owner for his refusal to break the law by illegally transferring a firearm as a favor to the MOS. That particular Cop can look forward to spending some quality time in an upstate prison for extortion, coercion, official misconduct and a whole host of other charges while the store owner gets to take possession of the Cop's house once the civil judgement comes in. These people were railroaded to make the DA look tough on gun crime and to satisfy one crooked Cop's need for revenge. I hope all their careers get destroyed.

These are two separate arrests. There is already a Federal case as above on the first raid.
This second arrest was last year and now if there really is no true bill, that means NO PROBABLE CAUSE.
They're gonna have to raise my taxes to pay this guy.

What a waste - was at T&T today - not the same anymore! Where is Hank??

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

No info - they are just happy that part is over.
Heard from a friend of theirs that the origional arrest took place on the date that T&T owner was to appear in court over him suing the county! What a set up if that is true and I dont doubt it!
I know T&T has a case against the county since before this BS started.

So they verified that the Grand Jury found no true bill and the case is dead?
